The 32-year-old actor is said to like the Babyshambles frontman's "bohemian" lifestyle, with a source claiming that despite being "an odd couple", they have "loads of interests and life experiences in common".

"They bonded over their love of poetry and art. Macaulay can't get enough of listening to Pete waxing lyrical about his painting and music," continued the source.

"Pete also loves talking to Macaulay about acting, as he's been trying to launch a movie career."

Culkin and Doherty allegedly met through mutual friend Adam Green, who directed them both when they starred in his 2011 movie The Wrong Ferrari - a 70-minute film shot on an iPhone.
